A state grand jury indicted a father and son for failing to pay state sales taxes collected from customers at their used-car dealerships in Monmouth and Ocean counties, according to a report in the Asbury Park Press.

The report said Anthony Foti, 53, of Brick, is charged with failing to remit more than $75,000 in sales taxes collected from customers at his used car dealership, An-Jo Car Company on Route 9 in Toms River, between 2000 and 2004.
